11 months...
an expert crawler, stair climber, mess maker, attention getter...
and by golly you got your first two bottom teeth at the same time!
little you may be, but boy you have a voice that shakes the windows
i think you will be a singer (for those that know me...be prepared for the next mini maria)
you will steal many hearts...especially daddy's
you will gladly hold grandpa's hand to make that venture down the hall
but for now crawling is the easiest
and you like to travel far! making all kinds of discoveries...i think you will be a genius!
they love to see you grow!
especially when they saw your teeth for the first time, its like the world stopped and all they saw are two small while pearls
they sure like to smother you with kisses and lots of hugs...
you love to hear him talk, sing, and move (i think it's love hehehe)
and seriously! we have to play elmo's song everyday on repeat
thank goodness for mommy's iphone cause that is were elmo's song lives
and we take elmo's song where ever we go
you are a cuddler and like i said an attention getter
when ever you want to sit with mommy or daddy you will come up and tap our laps or...
if we are busy doing something you would whine and whimper and if that does not work you will resort to bumping your head on the floor or the couch cushions
seriously? i think that would hurt...a little
but it works everytime...of course who can't resist those big brown eyes.
hugs,
m
i am at a loss for words...
so precious that is all i have to say
(you can find this awsome crochet hat at SweetCherie)
oh my!
hugs!
m
oh my!

10 months...
cute things i want to remember ...
you will scream and screech on top of your lungs to say "hey look at me!"
your brothers and sisters get a kick out of your vocal abilities and they laugh and laugh
i honestly think you will be a singer one day (just like mama hehehe)
they way you light up when we visit daddy at the school
and you will wave at him all happy and smiley
you have learned to say "mama" "kitty" and "there"
you must be a genius!
books! you love books! especially the books that we keep for you on the coffee table that seem to always find its on the floor with the board pages open
you have an eye for the green leaf, and the yellow duck :)
i think you like anything that is colorful
now that pointer finger of yours
is the most adorable little thing i have seen by far!
when you see something that interests you, you will point at it till you can touch it
food! you definately love food
when you see the big kids eat you want to eat too
everytime we eat you will screech and scream until we give some to you to taste
music! now music! you are a genius! grandpa will take you to the piano and you will play such lovely soft music just like your brothers
when music is played, you do the twist with a huge smile on your face :)
especially when elmo's world is playing you like freeze and watch the little red furry monster on the tv or youtube
you sure like to get into everything, especially the storage area
you have learned to open the door and sneak into the storage space under the stairs
the tupperware seems to always find its way all over the kitchen floor and under the dining table
someone must have also learned to open the tupperware drawer
sneaky i tell you!
you are still little, i mean really!
all of your clothing is size 6 months - 9 months
but that is okay cause the clothes last longer
and i love that you are little cause it means i get to enjoy your baby stages longer :)
you are so attached to me, big time!
i will be going back to work soon :(
so i have been taking you to the lovely lady that will be taking care of you once a week
and i tell you...
you are not enjoying it
tears come when she touches you or even comes near you
we have to work on that for the next 6 weeks
oh how i can hold these moments forever!
hugs!
m
on this day...
she is blossoming into a very interesting person
loves her siblings, even though she does not show it
loves to play with her baby sister "miss lady of cornwall" (hehehehe sweet really)
i can not believe how much she has changed! oh how i love her so!
hugs!
m
hugs!

at 9 months...
two, you are adorable
three, you are so sweet
five, crawling up the stairs
six, eating everything in sight
seven, you can say "da-de" really well, makes daddy's heart melt all the time
nine, you definitely know how to express your feelings, like when there is something you don't like you just scream to high heaven
ten, you are absolutely amazing!
hugs!

6 years old is not so little anymore...
you are the cutest, good looking, smart, funny, cutest (i already said that didn't i?) 6 year old that i know
we celebrated your 6 birthday last week and we had a blast :)
all you really wanted was to spend your birthday together as a family
to watch Captain America and Smurfs (there's a blast from the past hehehe)
to have dinner together
and blow the candles on your cake
you sister spent the morning baking a rainbow cake just for you
it was all like an episode of cake boss in our kitchen that morning :s
the first thing you said was "wow that is a big cake!"
you have grown so much!
and yet you are so little, to mommy and daddy anyways :)
you are kind, thoughtful, imaginative, a great musician, and you like to keep your cool
you love video games, wait i think the right word is addicted to video games
if you had your way you would play the xbox 360 all day
you so look up to your brother
everything he does you want to do too
usually it has something to do with being notty
your sister still thinks you are cute
especially when you sing and play by your self
i think it is the sweetest thing, it's that baby in you
you are the cutest, sweetest, 6 year old i know (i said it again tehe)
hugs!

8 months...
i can't believe how much you have grown!
there is so much you can do
its like the door of discovery opened and you just want to explore!
you crawl so fast with your eyes scoping the floor
thinking what little things can i pick up with my hands
unfortunately every little thing you pick up goes straight in your mouth
so mommy and daddy have to make sure the floor is clear of little things that can hurt you
we make sure that your brothers and sister are on board with this
you always want to be part of the action whether it be watching TV
or wanting to play the drums on rockband
i can't get over how cute you are!
so small and sweet
you still have a very big appetite
which i am happy to see :)
you especially love those little cereal puffs
hehehe i love watching you eat
it's the cutest thing
that tiny pointer finger i so love it!!!!
and with major determination
you have learned to climb the stairs
yes i could not believe it!
you were a little scared at first cause those stairs are quite high
you would climb one step then look back and wimper a little
repeat until you got to the top
cute really :)
you always have a smile on your face and i so love that about you. :)

at 7 months...
my goodness where to begin!
she has reached incredible milestones this month
and is very busy these days! so much to discover!
and is very busy these days! so much to discover!
she has a very good appetite and will eat just about everything we give her, she especially loves her baby mum mum's
she always has a smile for mommy and daddy ;)
she always has a smile for mommy and daddy ;)
still has stranger danger moments, hope she gets over it soon cause mommy will be going back to work in a few months
definitely is shy, that is totally okay (some people say it shows she is smart, hehe)
when she is shy she turns and buries her head on my shoulder (its the most cutest thing)
likes to tap her older brother's face, it is her way to say "i love you"
big sister loves to hold her and gives her kisses, but does not like it so much when she cries
her younger brother likes to hold her and give her cuddles and i often have to remind him to put her down, gently
all of this is happening so fast!
i can't believe that she can sit up on her own
and yes she is crawling!
we had to put gates up cause she likes to go on mini adventures around the house
especially when it comes to the cat zoe, there is an interest in zoe so she would try to crawl towards her (but zoe wants nothing to do with her so will often run away)
she has also started to pull herself up onto her knees to see what is on top of the coffee table
and will attempt to climb the first step of the stairs
i especially love it when she is in her crib and she will peer over the rail so that we can see her big brown eyes...
i can't get over her big brown eyes...

every where we go i have to stop cause there is always someone who stops by to say hello to those big brown eyes :)
it has been so long that i can't remember when my other children have reached this milestone
i can't believe how fast she is learning and growing
she is the most cutest, happiest, *ahem* smartest 7 month old i know, tehe
thought i would try to post a video of her chatting, enjoy!
